Yoga Clothes

Like all other activities, Yoga also needs to be practiced in clothes which are specifically deigned for the physical demands of Yoga. Wearing right apparel is very important in yoga, as practice entails performing different types of body postures, ranging from the very simple to slightly complex. So, Yoga clothes should be comfortable enough to allow free movement of various body parts in all poses or positions.

Yoga pants, Capri, pajamas, t-shirts, shorts, unitard, etc, are advisable clothing for practicing Yoga. The fabric of clothes should be light-weight and sweat absorbent. Loose pants, Capri, shorts and pajamas are really comfortable. Another thing to look for in clothing is stretchability. Since different Yoga poses require different body movements, it is recommended to wear stretchable clothes which allow free movement of body parts. Ladies are advised to wear sports bra.
